If there is anything in your spirit hindering you, confess it now.
It is okay, He knows it anyway. Bring it to Him and ask Him for help, remember you are already forgiven, as Him to help you as you embrace that truth and live it out.

4. In the seventh year of Athaliah's reign, Jehoiada the priest summoned the commanders, the Carite mercenaries, and the palace guards to come to the Temple of the LORD. He made a solemn pact with them and made them swear an oath of loyalty there in the LORD'S Temple; then he showed them the king's son.

5. Jehoiada told them, "This is what you must do. A third of you who are on duty on the Sabbath are to guard the royal palace itself.
6. Another third of you are to stand guard at the Sur Gate. And final third must stand guard behind the palace guard. These three groups will all guard the palace.
7. The other two units who are off duty on the Sabbath must stand guard for the king at the LORD'S Temple. 
8. Form a bodyguard around the king and keep your weapons in hand. Kill anyone who tries to break through. Stay with the king wherever he goes."

9. So the commanders did eveything as Jehoiada the priest ordered. The commanders took charge of the men reporting for duty that Sabbath, as well as those who were going off duty. They brought them all to Jehoiaa the priest,
10. and he supplied them with the spears and small shields that had once belonged to King David and were stored in the Temple of the LORD.
11. The palace guards stationed themselves around the king, with their weapons ready. They formed a  line from the south side of the Temple around to the north side and all around the altar.

12. Then Jehoiada brought out Joash, the king's son, placed the crown on his head, and presented him with a copy of God's laws. They anointed him and proclaimed him king, and eveyone clapped their hands and shouted. "Long live the king!"
2 Kings 11:4-12 NLT
